golf .. i think ..

we do not golf on a regular basis .. jeff .. ellie and greg have clubs but we don't golf .. jeff and the kids will hit balls in the front yard every now and then and they will hit balls at lafortune park after school .. but again we don't golf .. 

jeff and i used to play beer golf when we were in college but that is not really a game that you can play with kids .. or at least with kids at a hotel .. maybe with kids in your front yard .. 

anyway ..

so we loaded up the kids and the clubs and headed to the driving range .. 
a little side note here .. there is such a thing as golf etiquette .. we didn't break every rule but came pretty close .. 
1.  proper attire .. this means collared shirts and golf shoes .. a no for us .. how about mastercraft t-shirts and sparkly tennis shoes ..
2.  being quiet .. this means no hollering "hey dad .. why is there an empty beer can in the golf bag ?" .. and "oh man .. i missed"
3.  being respectful of other golfers .. this means that you don't crowd them out .. make them cut their time at the driving range short .. 

yes the other golfers got just a little nervous when we pulled up ..

see what i mean .. this is not appropriate golf attire .. but who can argue with a dad helping his most favorite girl carry her golf bag .. if they have a problem with this then they can come and talk to me ..

she is still working on her form or stance or whatever they call it ..

i love this picture .. 2 brothers .. laughing and having fun while driving balls with their kids on spring break vacation .. mostly i like it because jeff is smiling .. i have missed that smile .. 

not sure if the dirt is supposed to be flying in the air  but it was .. and i will to have to also say that there were no golf course inappropriate words that followed .. 

hunter rolled/putted all those golf balls into all the holes or whatever they are called .. he was so proud of himself .. then cash ran down the hill and got them all out so poor hunter had to start all over again ..

we had  a great time at the driving range .. we weren't even asked to leave and the one kinda very golf looking grumpy guy went ahead and left when we saw us all walking up .. all i can is say is at least cash did not look like this ..

at least not when we went back in the afternoon ..

yes he is in his monster truck pj's and those are his red flip flops .. i thought to bring his tennis shoes and his sweat shirt when i joined the golfers after i ran in the morning .. 

pj's are for sure not proper golf attire .. 
either are flip flops ..

i am going to stop there ..
